[Droid Pro General] freerider20010:
hey, i don't want to wait for the release in europe so i wanna buy one on ebay.com. I found pretty much of the devices on ebay.com. there is often said that the devices has bad esn's and can't not be activated in the verizon network. what is this about?

they say the phone is unlocked but only outside the us. can i buy such a phone or not?:)
[Droid Pro General] vivid22:
I purchased a Droid Pro two weeks ago on Ebay which just arrived last Friday and I am already very much in love with this phone.

I guess the best option is to get in touch with the seller directly. The best case scenario you can go for is to buy it from a private seller who has a good standing with Verizon. My seller helped out a lot to activate the device, and then call up Verizon to get an official unlock code for me that I just had to enter after popping in my sim card and which worked perfectly! Bad ESN means that it can not be activated on the Verizon network. However, in order to do the unlock the usual way, the device needs to be activated once and that MUST be on the Verizon US network, it is not possible anywhere else. If you do a google search you will find a way to get around the activation by a simple "touch all the corners of the screen trick".. but I am not sure how reliable that is and what happens after you do an update. In case you can not get an official Verizon unlock code, they are available on the internet. However, if you check the other forums, increasingly more online unlock codes have no effect as Verizon is starting to change the databases OTA (over-the-air) on the devices.. and I am not sure whether the developers have caught up with it yet.

Also something you want to be careful about, try to find out how the device performs on your network. Because there are also reports that some users are not able to use their phones with their home 3G networks, even after manually putting in the APN infos. I am sure that will sort itself out as soon as the Motorola Pro officially hits Europe...

Also just to give you a figure of what price you can expect.. I paid $300 for mine activated and supplied with an official Verizon unlock code, oh the seller was so kind to include a 16GB microSD card... I have the feeling this device is getting more and more popular in Europe which might have an impact on the prices on Ebay..

If theres anything else I can help you with, please feel free. I know of at least a handful users from Europe and Asia that have imported Droid Pros so the combined knowledge should be sufficient to help you out:) Where are you based?
[Droid Pro General] freerider20010:
thank you for this great reply. ok i tried out to find some private seller on ebay.com. when this doesn't work i think i will buy such a bad esn phone and give it a try. when you have contact to your seller please let me know. then i can contact him if he sell some more of the devices.

best regards from germany
[Droid Pro General] discomm:
There is an update of unlock code by Verizon over OTA in end of Jan or begin of Feb for sure, and the unlock code has been changed. But it seems new unlock code provider (not from verizon) pop on web site/ebay.

I just bid one bad esn droid pro from ebay and waiting happily :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeodla:
first at all, thanks to anyone who try to give me a hand in this one. i own a nexus one for at least 1 year now, since i got it i knew its true potential was in the features that are not available in the regular stock version. well the case is i dont know and i am not familiar with the terms that all of you the tech savys use. i've been going to every post, threat and webpage that talks about rooting nexus one, i've watched every video and for simple that looks like my experience is diferent, is a constant struggle because most all the time all of you take for granted that i know what ADP, CDM, bootloader, fastboot, and etc.. you know, all those terms means that i dont know. i dont expect someone to become a teacher in kindergarder for me, i just want someone give me a guide of how to do it in a language that a person that have tried very hard for at least 6 month can understand. call me the name you choose, but at least, dont tell me i didnt ask for help.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeodla:
i want to be a little more specific of the what my motives of rooting my nexus one 2.3.3. this time around. i want to be able to get superuser abilities and be able to port the music player from honeycomb. i hope this gives you a better idea of what i want and how to do it, thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brownbay:
If you want to unlock the bootloader on your Nexus One, follow these steps:

**Precondition: You need to successfully negotiate a connection between your phone and the computer (adb/fastboot).

With that said,

1. Boot into fastboot mode (Power on the N1 and hold the trackball down, until you get to a white screen). Once in fastboot, connect your phone via usb to the computer.

2. Test your connection --- Open the 'tools' folder in the Android SDK folder and SHIFT + Right click and select "Open command window here". Then type the following in to verify your connection: "fastboot devices". If you get a response, then you can continue to step 3. If not, then you'll need to reinstall the SDK/usb drivers.

3. Type "fastboot oem unlock" in the command window and you should be presented by a prompt on the N1 asking if you'd like to confirm the unlocking of the bootloader. Simply select yes, and you're done.

How about you read the wiki first.

First, follow the "install custom recovery" guide.

Then, download the latest SU (search Google: "chainsDD superuser zip"), flash it in custom recovery.

If you only want the Honeycomb music player, just search for the APK (look in Nexus One Development for Music 3.0) and install it. Are you sure you want SuperUser abilities when you don't understand the terminology to root your phone? It only gets harder the more advance you go ;)

There is a thread in the android theme section (not vibrant) with a very lengthy guide, and a lot of images you can use. It looks sweet once setup, but it wasnt for me.

you need ADW to be 5x5, I do recall that.

I discovered my toddler chewing on my mytouch battery today. :mad: I wiped it off really well and put it back in the phone thinking (maybe stupidly) that it was fine. The phone started up at first, then shut down and wouldn't turn back on. I cleaned the contacts on the battery and on the phone first dry then with rubbing alcohol. I got it to turn on again once or twice but it shut off again. Now it won't start.

Should I put the whole phone in rice like when you get a phone wet? Or is the battery just ruined? Is this normal behavior for a wet battery? I've never gotten just the battery wet so I have no idea. :P Thanks!

Hello

Since yesterday my phone keeps turning itself off and then on again. I have a suspicion that it is due to the internal memory being full. I am also suspecting that the files that I delete are never really deleted. I keep getting the memory full message no matter how many files I delete and apps I uninstall. I also remember once going through my sms inbox, deleting old messages and threads...only to rediscover them in the inbox after changing SIM cards.... They were never really deleted.

Is there no thrash can to empty in order to permanently delete deleted files?Any other ideas on why the phone keeps turning itself off?

Thanks!

Turn off haptic feedback on softkeys

Hi all, had my atrix (rooted) nearly a week now on Orange UK and one of the most annoying things for me was the haptic feedback on the soft keys, i couldn't find a setting in my phone to turn them off, so i scoured this forum looking for ways to do it, and it looked like the only way was to alter the framework which i'm not very comfortable in doing. So i went through the android market and came across this amazing app called VIBRAFIX ( must be rooted ) which allows you to turn the haptic feedback on the soft keys off, but also gives you the option of keeping vibrate on for your calls, sms and alarm clock. Hopefully this will save a me a bit of juice in my battery aswell.
